Course Description

This course explores a biblical theology and its implications for understanding teaching as vocation and teaching as hospitality. It integrates theology in relation to human dignity and flourishing, biblical understanding, vocation, and formation. Practices that shape and sustain the teacher and their identity will be explored, along with the concept of the classroom as a location of formation. Drawing on these, links are made to Christian ethics and opportunities are given for the critical exploration of choices and philosophies in the classroom and in teacher identity.
